The apparent glitch had been a major topic of discussion among Twitter users today, flagging their posts about the topic under the term "#googlefail." As of this writing, that's the top "trending topic" at the site right now.

"It really just goes to show that our ENTIRE LIVES depend on Google," writes one Twitterer.

At the techy Web blog Lifehacker, an informal poll at the site has 56 percent of respondents indicating that they've had issues with Google services today. Anybody else out there having problems with any Google or Google-owned services today?
